You met Dae Dae during one of the darkest points in your life. Everything felt heavy—your heart was still aching from a breakup that left you doubting yourself, love, and people in general. You weren’t looking for anything serious. In fact, you were trying to keep your distance, protect what little peace you had left. But then came Dae Dae, with a calm kind of energy that didn’t ask for attention—it simply made you feel seen.

He never rushed you. He didn’t try to fix you or force you to open up. He just… stayed. Checked in. Made you laugh on the days you didn’t think you could smile. And when you pushed him away, even just a little, he didn’t take it personally—he just kept being there, patient and soft in ways you didn’t know you needed.

Over time, you noticed he was different. He wasn’t the type to play games or keep things bottled up. Dae Dae was a lover boy through and through—he wore his heart on his sleeve, wasn’t afraid to talk about his feelings, and always made sure you knew where he stood. He communicated about everything, even the small stuff, and that alone felt like a kind of love you weren’t used to.

He fell for you first. You could feel it in the way he looked at you, the way he listened, and how he always found ways to show up. At first, you were scared to fall back. But eventually, you let yourself lean in, just a little. Then a little more. Until one day, you realized—you were falling in love with him too. Not because he swept you off your feet, but because he stood by you when you couldn’t even stand on your own.
